What is an ADT?

Associate Degrees for Transfer (ADT) – also known an Associate in Arts for Transfer
(AA-T) or Associate in Science for Transfer (AS-T ) degree – are intended primarily
for students who plan to transfer into a similar baccalaureate major at a CSU campus. Students who earn an ADT and meet certain CSU admission requirements
are guaranteed priority admission to a CSU campus, though not necessarily to a specific
campus or major.

Sign up for an ADT Workshop

When offered, students are encouraged to register for an ADT Workshop facilitated by a Transfer Center counselor. This workshop provides an overview of
AA-T/AS-T degrees and is intended to help students determine if an ADT supports their
educational goals.

STEP 5 - Meet with a DAC counselor or academic adviser to develop an education plan to support your goal
of earning an ADT. Additionally, you may attend an ADT Workshop to learn more about AA-T/AS-T degrees.

[WARNING]Admission requirements including the'Golden Four'(Oral Communication, Written Communication, Critical Thinking, Mathematics/Quantitative
Reasoning) completion deadlines may not align with ADT verification cycles so make
sure these courses are completed by the specified deadline for your transfer term.

STEP 2 - ALL OTHER STUDENTS (NON-CSU TRANSFER STUDENTS):OnlySTEP #4 below is required. Your ADT application will be processed in the same time
frame as other DAC AA/AS degrees.

STEP 3- You MUST indicate on yourCSU Admissions Applicationthat you will be receiving the ADT, specifying the major and expected completion date.

If you file theADTGraduation ApplicationbyMarch 1, 2019 (5:00 p.m.), and had correctly identified your intention to receive the ADT degree on your CSU
Admissions Application, DAC will electronically verify your ADT status with CSU once
your application has been processed. This verification acknowledges you are on-track
to receive the degree as reported. (If you decide later not to pursue the degree or
are unable to complete the requirements as reported on your CSU Application, you are
responsible for notifying the CSU campus(es) of this change in your ADT status. DAC
will not be able to retract the verification.)

If you are a Fall 2019 CSU applicant intending to complete ADT requirements by the
end of spring 2019, butdid notreport your intention to receive the degree on your CSU Admissions Application, you
must submit theADT Graduation ApplicationbyMarch 1, 2019 (5:00 p.m.). If you meet this deadline, and it's determined you are eligible to receive the ADT
as planned, De Anza College will provide you with a verification form thatyou can submit to CSU.

STEP 6 - Follow all instructions provided by CSU and DAC and request to have your official
DAC transcript (showing final spring grades) sent to CSU by the posted CSU deadline.
Read thetranscript requestinformation carefully.

The ADTawardedwill be noted on your De Anza College transcript. CSU will reference your official
De Anza College transcript toverify degree completion.
